[Empeg-general] Re: Is Hijack losing my tuner?

[tms13@empegbbs-noreply.merlins.org]

Losing the tuner is something that's known to happen if the voltage dips at the wrong time during startup; I think that's well-known here.  It's possible that I've just been unlucky lately, or the timing of when tuner detection is done has changed so that it happens when I start the engine, or the timing of starting the engine has changed (this is ambient-temperature-dependent - I normally start as soon as the glow plugs cut out).

Symptoms are that the player appears to be one without a tuner - no "Radio" entry in sources menu, "Tuner" button on remote is ignored, etc.

I suspected Hijack, because that's the only thing I know I've changed this week, and I know Mark mentioned he was doing something related to tuner detection.

It'd be nice if the kernel had a couple of goes at detecting the tuner - before and after hard-disk detection, perhaps?
